Friend Construction

Friend Construction serves homeowners throughout Middlebury and Addison County, delivering residential roofing and construction services in the Champlain Valley region of Vermont. The company handles projects with the personal attention and quality workmanship that the name implies: working with customers as friends rather than transactions. Addison County stretches from Lake Champlain to the Green Mountains, creating diverse weather patterns within a relatively compact geography. Lake effect snow influences western communities. Mountain elevation brings heavier precipitation to eastern areas. Ice dams, heavy snow loads, and freeze-thaw cycling challenge roofing systems throughout the county. The construction background provides perspective that pure roofing contractors often lack. Understanding how roofs integrate with the broader building envelope, how ventilation affects ice dam formation, and how structural considerations influence roofing decisions all contribute to better outcomes. When projects reveal issues beyond roofing, the team can address problems comprehensively. Services include roofing repairs, replacements, and new construction. Material options span traditional asphalt shingles and metal roofing systems that perform well in Vermont climate. The relatively short construction season in Vermont requires efficient project management to complete work before winter weather arrives. The approach emphasizes honest assessment and clear communication. When a roof can be repaired effectively, that option gets presented. When replacement makes more sense, the reasoning is explained without pressure. Throughout Middlebury, Vergennes, Bristol, and surrounding Addison County communities, Friend Construction has built its reputation through trustworthy service and quality craftsmanship.
